Home Up
Home Up is the first Good Lock module to install after downloading the software, as many Samsung enthusiasts would confirm. It serves as the standard customization option for Galaxy users in many respects. The five groups of settings found in Home Up are Home screen, Folder, Back up and Restore, Share Manager, and Task Changer.
Hiding the app label from the home and applications screens creates a considerably cleaner appearance, and is one of its best features. For easier navigation, you can also alter the Recents page’s design.
You can even make folders on your home screen pop up instead of taking up the entire screen if you’re really picky about the user interface of your phone.

LockStar
LockStar focuses on personalizing your lock screen, as the name would imply. You may manually reposition system icons like the clock, music widget, and notification icons with this feature. You might wish to try any of the wallpapers that are included.
Additionally, the module enables you to quickly launch up to six different apps in place of the phone and camera apps that are the lock screen’s default shortcuts. But you may remove any or all of the system icons from the lock screen if you prefer a more modest appearance.

Wonderland
Wonderland is a fantastic choice if you want to give your screen a more vivid appearance. For your home screen and lock screen, you can design a unique live wallpaper with this feature. When the module is downloaded, it will show you a few presets to help you understand how it operates. You can modify those defaults or start fresh with new wallpaper.
Even better, you can stretch your static wallpaper across the entire screen to create a video wallpaper by overlaying a video on top of it. If you decide to utilize either one, make sure the movie isn’t too distracting when you’re trying to view your widgets and apps on the home screen.
Google plans to introduce support for NFC Wireless charging (WLC) with Android 15. This feature is a significant development for charging small electronic devices. Unlike the widely-used Qi wireless charging, NFC wireless charging does not require large coils, making it ideal for devices with limited internal space.
With the Android 15 update, NFC wireless charging is expected to become more common in smaller devices such as earbuds, styluses, smartwatches, and tracker tags. This support will enhance user convenience and device functionality.
Announced in 2020, the NFC Wireless Charging technology uses antennas that are reportedly smaller than one centimeter. These antennas are versatile, serving both as a means for wireless charging and NFC data transfer. This dual functionality is particularly beneficial for smaller devices.
The slow adoption of NFC Wireless Charging in the market has been attributed to a lack of support from major operating systems. However, the recent Android 15 beta release indicates that Google is now integrating NFC Wireless Charging capabilities into the Android platform. This move could lead to an increase in WLC-enabled accessories.
This feature could transform the charging of devices like tracker tags, which could use NFC for both power and data, and styluses that comply with the USI 2.0 specification.
Android 15 might allow Google Play to update your phone’s NFC

Google has recently released the first beta version of Android 15, which brings a significant update as lets users select a preferred app to serve as their default wallet application. This feature enhances the system’s flexibility, allowing for a personalized choice of NFC payment apps.
Previously, Google Wallet was the default NFC payment app on Pixel phones. With the new update, users have noticed that the AMEX app is also compatible with this setting.
This change is also expected for various payment apps to become the default wallet app on Android devices. Google explains that wallet apps are designed to store essential items like credit cards, loyalty cards, and even car keys, facilitating different types of transactions.
This update is notable because it differs from Apple’s approach on iOS, where alternative digital wallet apps are not allowed. Previously, Android hasn’t blocked third-party wallet apps but this new default setting will make it easier for users to integrate these apps into their payment processes, giving them more options and enhancing the overall user experience.

Google’s upcoming Android 15 update is set to bring a transformational change in the way NFC technology is updated on smartphones. The company promises to reduce the complexity of operating system updates with Android 15. Notably, the NFC feature offers contactless payments and data transfer.
Back in 2019, Project Mainline was introduced by Google to address the challenge of updating the Android operating system across various devices. Project Mainline allows Google to update essential parts of the operating system directly, bypassing the device manufacturers. This method simplifies the update process and ensures that all devices receive updates simultaneously.
With the introduction of Android 15, Google plans to increase the number of updateable modules from 37 to 40 within Project Mainline. The addition of the ‘com.android.nfcservices’ package is significant because it includes the NFC stack.
The presence of the NFC stack package along with two other packages indicates that Google is preparing to add these as new modules to the project mainline. Although it has not yet been confirmed whether these will be included or not.
As Android 15 gets closer to its release, it’s clear that Google is working towards a more unified Android experience. The ability to update the NFC stack directly through the Google Play System is a step that provides users with a more consistent and secure operating system.
